Bender – GPU Cluster
The small GPU cluster Bender was purchased and installed by the HRZ in 2022. It is mainly intended to be used for teaching contexts but suitable applications for science projects will also be given access provided that enough resources are available.

Access
Fill out the form below to register for a Bender account.
When applying, you will be asked to agree to abiding by the regulations for using our HPC systems as well as the HRZ regulations (both links in German). Registration is not possible without agreeing to them.
You need an Uni-ID to apply for Bender access. Students will need to specify a supervisor who will take nominal responsibility for the student. The supervisor does not need to have HPC access, but they will get a confirmation e-mail which they need to reply to.
